In the following youtube playlist, a listener named Nguyen Ngoc Minh has put together a play list including the song by Cung Tien above with Hon Vong Phu (Statue of the Awaiting Wife), a choral symphony by Composer Le Thuong. Here, Wendy N. Duong sang the first two parts of the symphony as a soloist, together with recital of poetry exerpts from the Vietnamese classique Chinh Phu Ngam (Song of the Warrior's Wife) . Again, she sang parts of both pieces in English. Not many people know this, but Wendy is a librettist and one of her favorite tasks is to make English lyrics for those Vietnamese songs that she likes.
